Adafruit Launches Raspberry Pi Starter Pack for $69.95

The Raspberry Pi is supposed to be great for hardware prototyping, but you may not know where to start and/or depending where you live it might be difficult to buy the small components needed at a decent price. That’s where Adafruit Raspberry Pi starter pack comes into play. It includes a case, some cables and power supplies, as well as a breadboard and a whole bunch of components.

The package includes:

Adafruit clear acrylic Pi Box

USB Micro-B Cable to connect the Raspberry Pi to a power source

5V 1A power adapter

USB TTL console cable to be used to access the serial console. Useful to debug the kernel or if you run your device without display and/or network.

4GB SD Card

Adafruit Pi Cobbler kit with GPIO cable for connection to the GPIO/I2C/SPI/Power pins.

That all looks pretty nice, although a cheaper kit without the casing, power adapter, USB & Ethernet cables and SD card might have been even more interesting, as those are items that most people may already possess or/and do not need.
